About a third of all common cancers in the United States, China and Britain could be prevented each year if people ate healthier food, drank less alcohol and exercised more, health experts said on Friday.Reports from the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) suggest that making simple lifestyle changes could prevent some 40 percent of breast cancers alone in Britain and the United States, as well as tens of thousands of stomach cancers.“Even in 2011, people are dying unnecessarily from cancers that could be prevented through keeping a healthy weight, diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors,” said a WCRF medical and scientific adviser.WCRF findings are supported by World Health Organization (WHO) reports, which say regular exercise can prevent many diseases such as cancers and heart diseases.Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world and its incidence(发病率) is rising. Each year around 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from some form of the disease. There are about 200 known types of cancer.Rachel Thompson, the WCRF’s head of science, said that while the message was simple — that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers — it was still a difficult one to get across.The WHO says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. This could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day.Peter Baldini, head of the World Lung Foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. Tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundred s of thousands of people who don’t smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand.“There isn’t a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportunity and the duty to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible,” Baldini sai d.63. Which of the following words can best take the place of the phrase “ward off” in the sixth paragraph?A. protectB. preventC. developD. cure【答案】B【解析】词义猜测题。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I leta salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model, I realized this a day late,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid,The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night, Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.21.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.22.Which of the following can best replace the phrase”signed off”in Paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all-night movies23.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting it. B .By turning it on and off. C.By switching channels.D.By having it repaired.24. How does the anthor sound when telling the story ?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play arole in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light , get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors . Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites . In one study , people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make tood appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint , go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down , turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishs, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26.A home environment in blue can help people_________.A.digest food betterB.reduce food intakeC.burn more caloriesD.regain their appetites27.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A.Eat quickly.B.Play fast music.e smaller spoons.D.Turn down the lights.28.What can be a suitable title for the test?A.Is Your Hourse Making You Fat?B.Ways of Serving DinnerC.Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever cefore are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university.It used to be called the “year off” between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Serbice(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be stisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and More students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for thedegree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% d uring vacation periods,”he said.29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxation.C. It is increasingly popular.D. It is required by universities.30. According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year______.A.are better prepared for college studiesB.know a lot more about their future jobsC.are more likely to leave university in debtD.have a better chance to enter top universities31. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He's puzzled.B. He's worried.C. He's surprised.D. He's annoyed.32.

高中英语真题-2016高考英语(二轮)阅读理解练习(2)
2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解练习（2）【2014高考英语广东省佛山市质测试题】Ever get that feeling you're being watched? Well, if you're a dog-owner, you may have a point. Dogs are able to watch people' s interactions with one another to determine who holds yummi er treats, according to a new study. This study joins others tha t show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feeli ngs. It offers evidence dogs use information not only from peo ple's direct interactions with them, but also their interactions w ith one another.In the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for som e of their corns. Both women gave the man corns when he as ked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enth usiasm and said the corns were so delicious. In response to t he other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gro ss (in Spanish; the study was conducted in ). After these inter actions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the d og go. While many dogs didn't approach either woman, the do gs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman wit h the yummier food.Other studies of dogs' people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell the difference between happy and sad faces in their owners. The y prefer people who give others food when asked over people who don't give others food. And in one study, dogs turned to ward crying people more often than toward talking people.So how much do dogs really understand about the human s around them? That's not totally settled yet. In a strange twist to the Argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table an d had a man react to each plate, dogs didn't preferentially app roach the tastier plate afterward. You could say dogs watch fo r the interaction between two people, not just how a person re acts. Yet a previous study found dogs will choose boxes that people reacted to happily, but not boxes people reacted to wit h a disgusted face.Well, either way, you can be sure Fluffs is keeping an eye on you, to the best of her ability. The study was published in t he journal PLOS One.41. What does the study mentioned in Paragraph l show?A. Dogs prefer yummier foods.B. Dogs like to copy human's behavior.C. Dogs can interact with humans easily.D. Dogs can read human actions and feelings.42. What does the underlined word "gross" probably mean?A. Disgusting.B. Healthy.C. Yummy.D. Hot.43. Which is one of the procedures of the Argentine study?A. One of the women didn't give the food to the man.B. The man had different reactions to the food received.C. The assistant accompanied the dogs to get the food.D. Many dogs went to one of the women.44. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?A. Interactions between two people confuse dogs.B. Dogs never understand the reaction of one person.C. Dogs have good interactions with one another.D. The findings of some studies are controversial.45. Which is the best title for the passage?A.

Wilderness“In wilderness (荒野) is the preservation of the world. ” This is a famous saying f rom a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalis m. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated d ebate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderne ss at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anythi ng else, they speak of the nature that many people value mos t dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouc hed is strong, and the danger exploitation (开发) brings to such landscapes (景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. T o Mr. Sauven, these “ecosystem services”far outweigh the gains from exploitation., a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing v iew. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful se rvices, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better l ives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing nee d for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in a bundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no f urther reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge tha t suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the q uestion of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a p ractical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feeling s, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness s hould enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.1. John Sauven holds that .A. many people value nature too muchB. exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC. wildernesses provide humans with necessitiesD. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong2. What is the main idea of Para. 3?A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials .C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no e xploitation.D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.3. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?A. Objective.B. Disapproving.C. Sceptical.D. Optimistic.4. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub- point(次要点) C: Conclusion【参考答案】1—4、BCAD阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay. I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.For my 10th birthday, my sister and I Were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked. Australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.This statistic is depressing, so it's important forms to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco-system has led me to take action. I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.24.From the underlined sentence in Para.1, we can learn the author_____.A.seldom went surfing at the seaB.forgot his experiences about the oceanC.never went back to his hometownD.had a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay25.According to the second paragraph, Australian marine life_____.A.is escaping from the Coral Sea graduallyB.depends on reefs for living greatlyC.may be faced with dangerD.is protected better than that in other oceans26.The Protect Our Coral Sea activity is intended to____.A.contribute to a complete eco-systemB.prevent more marine species being endangeredC.set up a large nature reserve for reefsD.raise more teenagers' environmental awareness27. Angus and the author created a little video to______.A.urge more people to take action to protect the marine speciesB.inspire more people to explore the secret of the oceanC.share their childhood experiences about the oceanD.bring back to people their memory of ocean speciesCA water lily painting,Water Lily Pond, by Claude Monet, the French impressionist artist, was sold for more than $80 million Tuesday, breaking the auction(拍卖）record for himself. Water Lily Pond was part of a four-work collection of water lily paintings that Monet put up for sale during his lifetime.The four paintings of Monet's water lily garden were signed and dated by the artist in 1919. One of the other paintings is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, while another was sold at auction in 1992 for $ 12.1 million and is in a private collection now. The final painting in the series was cut into two before World War II."After a fierce bidding battle between a number of buyers in the room and on the telephone, the painting finally was sold to a collector for $80. 4 million, setting a new world record price for the artist at auction," said Olivier Camu, a scholar of impressionist art.The last record for a Monet work was set in May when Le Pont du chemin de fer a Argenteuil sold for $41.4 million.The painting sold Tuesday was bought at a 1971 New York auction for $ 320,000. It has not been exhibited since.Monet's later works had unique characteristics, especially Grandes decorations, another good example, which was bedded in Musee de I'Orangerie in Paris five months after Monet's death in 1926.Monet created his water lily garden in Giverny, France. He selected different water lilies in an effort to get as many different colored flowers as possible, specially creating the garden as a base for his paintings.28. According to the passage, Water Lily Pond broke the last record for Monet's paintings by ______.A. $12 millionB. $39 millionC. $41.4 millionD. $0. 32 million29.What can we learn about Water Lily Pond?A.It was once auctioned in America.B.It was cut into halves before World War II.C.It had been kept in New York for over 40 years.D.It was once put in Musee de I ' Orangerie.30.What does Olivier Camu think of the auction?A. Exciting.B. Inspiring.C. Disappointing.D. Frightening.31.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Monet and his water lily paintingsB.Monet a great impressionist artistC.Monet's garden and its characteristicsD.Water Lily Pond—Monet's best-known paintingDNeed for closure is a psychological term that describes a person's desire for a firm answer to a question. Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion and uncertainty. Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure. It likely evolved via natural selection.What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is affected by the situationwe're in. Our need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe, and it matters much more when we're rushed, or bored, or tired. Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase, and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions: who we decide to trust, whether we admit we're wrong and even how creative we are.In hiring, for instance, a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on their first impression. It's called the Urgency Effect. In one experiment, psychologists tried to lower people's need for closure by telling them, right before participants are about to make various judgments of a job candidate, that they'll be responsible in some way for them, or that their judgments have serious consequences.In making any big decision, it's not enough just to know that we should take our time. We all know that important decisions shouldn't be rushed. The problem is that we don't keep that advice in mind when it matters. So, one of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders.Before making important decisions, write down not just advantages and disadvantages butwhat the consequences could be. Also, think about how much pressure you're under. If your need for closure is particularly high that day, it's even more important to think twice.32. How does "need for closure" probably come into being?A. By nature.B. By accident.C. By acquiring.D. By imitating.33. It can be inferred that a high need for closure_____.A. brings about more stressB. causes discomfort and uncertaintyC. leads to not so good decisionsD. promotes one's creativity34. In the experiment the psychologists reduced participants ' need for closure by telling them to_____.A. be cautious about their judgmentsB. value their first impressionC. be responsible for their bossD. pay little attention to the consequences35. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A Another strategy to escape the pressures of modern life.B.Some serious consequences of making decisions.C.Other approaches to making important decisions.D.More helpful solutions to high need for closure.第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分,满分10 分）：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop work ing isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.1. It can be learned from the text that the aging of the population in America ________.A. has made people feel youngerB. has changed people’s social positionC. has changed people’s understanding of ageD. has slowed down the country’s social development2. The underlined word “one” refers to ________.A. a societyB. AmericaC. a placeD. population3. “Act your age” means people should ________.A. be active when they are oldB. do the right thing at the right ageC. show respect to their parents young or oldD. take more physical exercises suitable to their age4. If a’ 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _________.A. normalB. wonderfulC. unbelievableD. unreasonable1. C 主旨题。

2016合肥市高考英语:阅读理解二轮训练（3）及答案【2015高考复习】阅读理解Walk down the drinks section at the supermarket。
Look in the drink cooler in your local convenience store。
A new drink is taking up more and more space on the shelves,and that drink is water。
Bottled water sales in the US rose to 1。
7 billion gallons in 2010 for plastic bottles alone，compared to total sales of only 700 million gallons in 1990.Whereas bottled water was once associated only with the rich and the privileged （特权阶层),it is now regularly drunk by people at all income levels despite the fact that the price of bottled water can be between 240 and 10,000 times higher per gallon than tap water。
What accounts for this surprising increase in demand? Traditionally,people have drunk bottled water for health reasons.The practice of “taking the waters" originated with the Romans，who believed that a person developed a healthy mind by building a healthy body.Across Europe,drinking or bathing in mineral water has been associated with the power to cure various diseases.Health spas at Evian in France and Pellegrino in Italy began bottling water so that their consumers could continue their treatments at home.The consumers in the 21st century are also concerned about health。
